Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia is a 2024 sports drama film directed by Stefano Mordini, based on the intense rivalry between the German Audi team and the Italian Lancia team at the 1983 World Rally Championship.
The film depicts how Lancia, against all odds, battles to regain its former glory with bold innovation and courage, despite Audi being the favorite to win. Lancia hires renowned German driver Walter Röhrl and subverts homologation rules to field their Lancia Rally 037 cars.
The movie stars Daniel Brühl as Roland Gumpert of Audi, Riccardo Scamarcio as Lancia's Cesare Fiorio, and Volker Bruch as Walter Röhrl. It was simultaneously released in theaters and on demand on January 5, 2024.
Reviews have been mixed, with some praising the stylish racing scenes and 80s aesthetics, while others felt the film lacked balance and focused too much on Fiorio's character. Overall, it aims to capture the thrill and drama of the real-life underdog story between the German and Italian teams.
